If I was Tallon here are a couple things I would have floating around my mind going into the future. Someone is probably going to overpay for Havlat and khabibulin...neither is an elite player who is worthy of overpayment in the current NHL salary structure. IDK what the Hawks cap situation is going to be this offseason. This may sound funny but I think Scott Neidermayer is worth every penny someone is going to sign him for. Adding him will make the Huet situation better, probably take other young Dmen up another notch and make the Hawks special teams the best in the league. Replace Havlat with some Cup experienced scoring forward. There are more out there than you think and are not very expensive.(Shanahan,Afingenov,Satan) I know Havlat is more than just a scoring forward, but you have to consider he again is healthy during a contract year. Resign Pahlsson and possibly another grind forward These things and the team improving with experience and the Hawks are a couple of notched better next year.
